"This doesn't mean we're friends" I said to Thomas while eating my breakfast

"I know" He looked at me with sadness in his eyes

"You still aren't going to explain, are you?"

"No" His eyes softened a little but the sadness was still there

"Then I know when I'm not wanted" I stood up with my bowl and walked into the Living Room. I was surprised when he didn't follow me but I shook of the empty feeling inside me.

"CHILDREN!" Kayla called as she waltzed into the Living Room

"Yeah?" I asked, spooning some more cereal into my mouth

"Violet!" She shouted

"OK, mum! No need to shout!" Thomas, Violet and I sat down on the L shaped sofa while Kayla stood in front of us

"Now, you know how your parents are going away" Kayla started, looking at me and I nodded "Well, Troy and I have decided to go with them!"

"WHAT?!" We all yelled

"You are old enough to be on your own. We trust you!"

"Trust us not to kill each other?" Violet asked, glaring at her brother

"Yes. Now, be nice because we leave in a hour" She walked out, leaving us all open-mouthed

"Well this will be fun" Satan said, smirking before leaving

"What the...?" Violet started but I just walked out and through the front door. What was they thinking leaving me with The Devil? They knew what we were like together and I'm sure they know that we will probably kill each other; well, I'll probably kill him. They all know that we don't get along anymore, so why do this to us? I walked into my own house and went straight to my room. Getting out my suitcase from the bottom of my wardrobe, I laid it on my bed and began to pack.

Within half an hour, all my things were packed and we're ready to take next door. I dragged it downstairs and put it in the hallway, walking in to the Living Room after i'd dumped it.

"Ready to go?" Dad asked Mum, smiling slightly at Rose and Theo's excitement

"Ready"

"I guess I'll see you when you get back" I half smiled

"You're a good girl" Mum came over and hugged me until Dad told her it was time to leave. Dad patted my shoulder, offering me a smile which I returned.

I stayed at the house for the next five minutes after they had left before getting suitcase and lugging it over to Violet's house.

"I'm back!" I yelled.

No reply.

"Violet?"

Nothing

"Hello?"

"She's out" Came a voice from the living room. I put the set of spare keys down on the table next to the doorway and laid my suitcase in the hall, walking into the living room.

"Where is she?" I said, coldly to Thomas as he sat on the sofa, with a bowl of popcorn watching some horrendous movie.

"A friends, I think" He shrugged

"So what shit are you watching?" I sat on the sofa, making sure I was as far away from him as possible

"Snakes on a Plane" I could tell he wasn't interested

"What's it about?" He looked at me with astonishment in his eyes

"Horses... Horses on a boat"

"Haha, so funny!" I pretended to laugh "Why not change it if it's so crap then?"

"Who said it was crap?"

"I can tell" He handed me the remote

"You put something better on then" I flicked through a few channels before I found something relativly decent

'Titanic'

"Oh c'mon!" Thomas shouted but I ignored him "What a load of shit!"

"I've never seen it" He nearly choked on a mouthful of popcorn

"Never?! It's one of the most famous films ever made and you've never seen it?!"

"Nope" I said, popping the 'p'. So for the next two and a half hours, we watched Titanic; Thomas yawning the whole way through just to piss me off. The only time he didn't try and piss me off was the part in the film where Cal was chasing Rose and Jack around the sinking ship, shooting bullets at them. I'll admit that I had gotten scared and accidentally ended up near enough on Thomas' knee with my sweating palm in his. His whole body went ridgid and as soon as I had placed my hand in his, I had taken it back out, moving as far away from him as I could.

The film ended and we just sat there in silence apart from my soft whimpers. The film was sad, who can't cry at it? Obviously heartless Thomas!

"Well then..." He said, standing "I'm off" I shrugged

+FLASHBACK+

"C'mon!" Cameron said, his voice booming

"Yeah, get on with it" Some random chick shouted

"Whatever" Tommy held out his hand for me and I stood up, following him into the closet

"Let's just wait here until the five minutes are up" He smiled at me

"Isn't the point of this is that we... um..."

"Kiss?" He finished for me

"Well, yeah"

"But it's your first kiss?" He pondered

"I know" He shrugged at me but nonetheless, leaned in to kiss me. I was scared at first, it was my first ever kiss and I was panicking that I wouldn't be any good but as soon as his lips touched mine, I craved more. I wanted more. He pulled me close to him and we stayed like that for god knows how long before someone knocked on the door to signal that we could come out

"Well, erm" Tommy said, running a hand through his hair "I guess we should... erm...go" He pointed with his thumb in the dim light towards the door so I just nodded.

+END OF FLACKBACK+

He can't handle awkward situations.

And if anyone asked me if I knew him...
